Everybody Gets the "Great Reset"

I was muttering about the two basic themes of the proposed Biden regime: "Build Back Better" and "systemic racism" a couple of days ago. 

Build Back Better is a meme of the World Economic Forum, part of its Great Reset. The founder of WEF is Klaus Schwab. All the right people are in on Build Back Better and the Great Reset, including Joe Biden and Boris Johnson.

And all the bad people are opposed. Like James Delingpole of Breitbart, who writes that the "Great Reset is Not  Conspiracy Theory" of right-wing kooks. If you needed persuading, Breitbart has a nearby article "John Kerry Hypes 'Great Reset': 'We're at the Dawn of Extremely Exciting Time."

Yes. I'll bet we are. Especially for ruling-class notables.

The point is that politicians of all stripes since the dawn of time have been complete suckers for the Comprehensive and Mandatory Program to Change the World. It's what they do. And here's what Portuguese-born Sarah Hoyt has to say about that.

If a story is too smooth, it’s a lie.  Whether it’s a political theory/prediction or a narration of an historical event, if everything fits... it’s a lie.  Real life is messy, self contradictory and confusing.  Real history stumbles, falters, weaves across the road like a spider on LSD. 

All government programs -- from the Communist Manifesto to the New Deal to the Great Society to Whip Inflation Now to Obamacare to Free College to the Great Reset -- are a lie.

But every political leader or political wanna-be sees himself as Henry V before Harfleur.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
...
On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war.
...
The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

Actually, the Brits besieging Harfleur were batting on a bit of a sticky wicket, because they were all dying of disease consequent upon being encamped in unsanitary conditions. Rule One for armies: First dig the latrines!

Do you get the point? It is that every political leader is proposing to lead his people once more unto the breach and fill it up with his English dead. Whether you are Al Gore proposing to fight climate change, or John Kerry salivating over an "extremely exciting time" or Barack Obama promising "fundamental transformation."

Nothing personal, you understand, it is just What Leaders Do. Here's another piece out today about the LBJ Goldwater election of 1964.

Then as now, the mainstream media were largely a cheering section for the Democrats, depicting their massive programs for social justice and economic equality as bold, brilliant steps into a brighter future. 

Actually, the Great Society was an unmitigated disaster, and one of its disasters was the marginalization of lower-class fathers, resulting in this chappie, the guy that was pursuing Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin. His name: "JoJo" Rosenbaum, white trash:

• Joseph Rosenbaum — depressed, homeless and alone . . . had spent most of his adult life in prison for sexual conduct with children when he was 18
• Rosenbaum met his father only twice and told his mother that he was molested by his alcoholic stepfather “on an almost daily basis,” according to court documents.
• When he was 13 his mother was sent to prison for two years, and Rosenbaum was sent off to a group home, where he began using heroin and methamphetamine, according to court documents.

Actually, it is my belief that this sort of thing happens all the way down the ages, for all kinds of reasons: conquest, famine, family breakup, stupid gubmint programs.

The peasants were dying in their millions at the end of the agricultural age; the Skid Row bums spent their lives on Skid Row after the 1929 Crash; the "homeless" are the victims of the end of manufacturing unions, and the major recessions and the government screw-ups of the last decades, including the COVID-19 screw-up.

As Sarah Hoyt says: "Real life is messy, self contradictory and confusing.  Real history stumbles, falters, weaves across the road like a spider on LSD. " And you'd better work like hell not to be caught in the undertow.

Because "sure as heckfire" the gubmint ain't gonna save you.
